There's no doubt about Rocco Nacino's growing popularity with girls, who find his Pinoy features, boyish charm, dance moves, and fit body as swoon-worthy.

During the press launch of The Good Daughter last February 7, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) got to ask him how he stays in shape.

He answered, "Right now I'm dieting 'cos I want...kasi right now, I'm preparing for Lam-Ang, yung indie movie na gagawin ko."

Lam-Ang or The Lam-Ang Experiment is an upcoming indie movie that will be produced by Ilocos Governor Imee Marcos. (CLICK HERE for related article)

The young actor resumed, "I'm dieting, ahm... working out.

"And then I'm working out, me and Kuya Raymond [Bagatsing] a, sinasabayan niya ako sa workout ko."

Raymond plays his stepfather in The Good Daughter.

Rocco is also into Wing Chun—which, according to the book Weng Chun Kung Fu, is a "concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilizing both striking and grappling, while specialising in close-range combat."

He related, "I practice wing chun with Raymond and may pinakilala siya sa 'kin, si Robert Greene. He's a special force siya sa States at chief po siya sa wing chun.

"And I'm taking that up for meditation and martial arts.

"And I'm still doing muay thai, boxing, and jiu-jitsu."

And how does he fit every thing in his schedule?

His reply: "Basta may oras ako, basta may oras ako I, I give my time. Like minsan, minsan mali nga, e, kasi pagod ako minsan, pero I want to work out.

"I want to train jiu-jitsu, pero kapag may oras."

And since he's busy taping for his series with Kylie Padilla, he's thinking of doing his workouts on the set during his breaks.
